[wpkg-users] error when comparing version strings of different length

[jurgen.depicker at let.be]

Hello Rainer.

I have a problem comparable to the libreoffice problem from this morning.

I just took the most recent SVN version (1.3.1RC12) of wpkg.js, but my 
error prevailed unfortunately.

I made a stupid mistake, and erased accidently a part of the version 
number of java 6.0.340.4 (the last '4' was erased).  Now nearly all my PCs 
break on this:
2012-09-11 14:00:02, DEBUG   : Going to install package 'Java(TM) 6 Update 
34' (jre), Revision 6.0.340.4, (execute flag is '', notify flag is

2012-09-11 14:00:02, INFO    : User notification suppressed. Message: The

I now tried to fix it by modifying %version%, appending '-1':
<package
      id="jre"
      name="Java(TM) 6 Update 34"
      revision="%version%-1"
      reboot="false"
      priority="100"

That didn't fix it:
2012-09-11 14:08:14, DEBUG   : Comparing version: '6.0.340.4-1' <=> 
'6.0.340.'.
2012-09-11 14:08:14, DEBUG   : Comparing version fragments: '6' <=> '6'

2012-09-11 14:08:14, DEBUG   : Comparing version fragments: '340' <=>

2012-09-11 14:08:14, DEBUG   : Comparing version fragments: '4' <=> ''
2012-09-11 14:08:14, ERROR   : Message:      'length' is null or not an 
object|Description:  'length' is null or not an object|Error number: 
800a138f|Stack:        undefined|Line:         undefined|

So the only option I seem to have is to delete the wpkg.xml on all my 
hosts (or:reducing the version number parts to 3 with a dot at the end). 
Do you have an idea about another option?  It seems that otherwise I 
cannot ever get rid of having to add the dot at the end of the revision 
version for this package.
